Adding Liveries To Cars

[OfficerFive0 3,806]

Hey i was wondering if it is possible to add more liveries to a car.

I know how to change the liveries but i don't know how to add more to the car. I found that just adding new livery named "livery5" (an example) the car wont spawn.

You need to find out what the naming convention is to the car, and add one.

If a model has the last livery be police_sign_4, add it as police_sign_5.

If a model has the last livery be buf_sign_2, add it as buf_sign_3.

If a model has it mtl_sign_42, add it as mtl_sign_43.

as i said  "I found that just adding new livery named "livery5" (an example) the car wont spawn."

meaning adding more liveries than there are already (not meaning to come off blunt).

Assuming you're using OpenIV, rename your extra livery so it is exactly the same name as the other liveries. Just like EvilJackCarver said, make sure you rename it so it is letter for letter the exact same thing as the other liveries in the model but with a different number on the end. If that doesn't work, make sure that you have added +livery to the vehicle.ide line of the model, and you could try using the Area Livery Mod to force different liveries to spawn.

[OfficerFive0 3,806]

Do you .ide lines end in -+livery or just +livery?

What models are you using?

[OfficerFive0 3,806]

not sure anymore ive changed them since. but i used more than 3 models .

You need to use either Area Livery Mod or the newest LCPDFR for more than 4 liveries to work.

what does lcpdfr have to do with it?

[Yard1 2,158]

Well, technically the AdvancedHook allows for more than 4 liveries, and that Hook is included in LCPDFR.

ok ill try it! 

[OfficerFive0 3,806]

well it doesnt work about to just forget about it

[OfficerFive0 3,806]

ok i think it may just not work with the ambulance i added an extra livery to police2 without a problem

[cp702 1,930]

As Yard1 said, the extra liveries is something rolled into AdvancedHook. IIRC, you need the AdvancedHook from LCPDFR 1.0c or later, as well as either LCPDFR or ELS 8. While ALM comes with a copy of AdvancedHook, I'm not sure it actually loads it by itself; I think you might still need LCPDFR or ELS 8 installed (or maybe just LCPDFR, but I know ELS 8 uses AH as well). Basically, having AH in the game folder isn't enough; it actually has to be loaded and be told to hook into the game functions to (among other things) change the livery-loading code to support many liveries.

[OfficerFive0 3,806]

Yea i know and i did that. I think it was just the ambulance that was the problem. Because i had no problem when i added a 5th livery to my cvpi.

If you are running Simple Native Trainer, find this line;

VehicleLivery=1		//Trainer mapped Livery

then replace it with this;

VehicleLivery=0		//Trainer mapped Livery

That should do the trick.

 

Cheers.
